Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup sugar
4 allspice berries
1 star anise pod
4 slices fresh ginger
3 ounces bourbon
2 ounces apple cider
1 ounce fresh orange juice
1 ounce fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the spiced syrup: Combine the sugar, 1/2 cup water, the allspice, star anise and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Strain into a liquid measuring cup.
